How much climbing do people actually do at the Ouray Ice Festival? Is it mostly clinics and gatherings or can you get a lot of mileage on the ice?

Can I easily find someone to belay me if I don't bring a partner? I have no friends.

I have poor interpersonal skills, so social gatherings don't interest me.

My only reason for going would be to find somebody to belay me when I climb. Is this festival for a loser like me who just wants to climb, or for a cool climber who wants to demo gear, pick up chicks, and watch competitions?

yeah, a fair few people. I stayed for the month a couple years ago, and wasn't short on people to climb with. Good times. And if you meet someone you trust/like climbing wtih, there's tons of ice outside of the park to enjoy...
